Mitsubishi Jet Towel Smart Lite - Unheated (white) JT-S2A-W-NE

The Mitsubishi Jet Towel Smart has been designed on the principles of the very successful Jet Towel Blade “hands in” model, introducing a very compact “hands under” hand dryer, with a brushless motor onto the market. This hand dryer has all the features you would expect from a Mitsubishi including quality build, high performance, energy efficiency and designed with the end user in mind. This hand dryer comes in a heated or unheated “lite” version. You are viewing the Mitsubishi Jet Towel Smart Lite without a heater element, which is available in a white ABS finish. Because this unit doesn't have a heater element it maximises energy efficiency at all times. Comes with a 5 year guarantee - we are the only company to offer this extended period.

A key feature of this hand dryer is its very quiet sound level. Rated between 58 and 62dB this truly is one of the quietest hand dryers on the market and has been accredited by the Quiet Mark. This reduced noise is helped by having a near silent motor when in use, as well as aerodynamic design in the interior; there are no sharp edges inside where the air flows. We have yet to independently test these levels however. Using between an extremely efficient 410 – 730W of power with a dry time on average 14seconds (depending upon the settings), the energy efficiency and performance of this hand dryer are excellent.

This version has 2 settings. There is a high and standard speed setting. Each setting has its benefit for drying time, energy efficiency and sound level giving the user a choice based on their unique preferences. The sensor has been specifically designed to give a very quick response and at just 0.1 seconds, the user will not be left waiting for the activation to occur. The motor instantly hits full speed, this quickens the dry time so uses less energy. The nozzle has been made extra wide allowing for an increased airflow to cross both hands at the same time, improving the dry time superbly.

The NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) award has been achieved due to an Antibacterial resin being used in the build materials, giving added hygienic properties. The intake grill – which has an enlarged width, rounded ends and centre rib added for reinforcement – is on the side of the hand dryer, which is designed to prevent dirty air from the hand drying cycle being sucked back into the hand dryer and recirculating. A filter is included to separate dust and particles from the air intake so cleaner air is blown onto the hands.

The unit is military tested to last above 700hrs continuous use. This test is above and beyond what other motors are tested too, (the highest industry test), other units would not last this long under the same testing protocol. We have to date zero failure rates.

Performance Rating

Energy Consumption

This rating is based on the watts per dry of the hand dryer which is derived from the rated power and the time taken to dry the hands. We have used the figures based on either the manufacturer’s dry time, if yet to be in house tested or based on the in house testing dry time we have conducted. This will also be based on the most energy efficient setting, if the hand dryer is adjustable for speed and/or heat.

Watts per dry:

0 – 1.99W = star rating 5

2 – 2.99W = star rating 4.5

3 – 3.99W = star rating 4

4 – 4.99W = star rating 3.5

5 – 5.99W = star rating 3

6 – 6.99W = star rating 2.5

7 – 7.99W = star rating 2

8 – 8.99W = star rating 1.5

9 – 9.99W = star rating 1

10W and above = star rating 0.5

4.5 out of 5

Quiet Sound Level

This rating is based on the manufacturers stated sound level, usually at 1m. Please see the section titled "how quiet is the." for more information and independent test results, which give a more accurate noise decibel level. These ratings will also be based on the low noise setting, if the hand dryer is adjustable for speed. Therefore at full speed the hand dryer may not be quiet, however it may be adjustable to become quiet if this is required.

Decibels (dB):

Up to 68dB = star rating 5

69 – 70dB = star rating 4.5

71 – 72dB = star rating 4

73 – 74dB = star rating 3.5

75 – 76dB = star rating 3

77 – 78dB = star rating 2.5

79 – 80dB = star rating 2

81 – 82dB = star rating 1.5

83 – 84dB = star rating 1

3.5 out of 5

Life Expectancy

This rating is based on the number of motor life cycles (number of uses) the hand dryer, in theory, will last for. This is based on the motor life expectancy given to us in hours, from the manufacturer.

The number of cycles (uses) has been calculated as follows:

(Number of seconds in the hour / seconds per dry) x motor life hours

For a more individualised longevity calculation based on your own usage numbers please use the life expectancy calculator on each product page.

Number of motor life cycles:

1,000,000 and over = star rating 5

800,000 – 999,999 = star rating 4.5

600,000 – 799,999 = star rating 4

400,000 – 599,999 = star rating 3.5

200,000 – 399,999 = star rating 3

100,000 – 199,999 = star rating 2.5

80,000 – 99,999 = star rating 2

60,000 – 79,999 = star rating 1.5

40,000 – 59,999 = star rating 1

39,999 and under = star rating 0.5

3.5 out of 5

High Speed

These ratings are based on the in house testing we have conducted regarding dry times. They show realistic comparisons of what to expect from each hand dryer. Please note that the manufacturer stated dry time is not always accurate when compared to the hand dryer being used in realistic conditions. The ratings are based on the hand dryer being placed at its high speed setting if it can be manually adjusted.

Dry Speed (seconds):

10 – 11 seconds = star rating 5

12 – 13 seconds = star rating 4.5

14 – 15 seconds = star rating 4

16 – 17 seconds = star rating 3.5

18 – 19 seconds = star rating 3

20 – 21 seconds = star rating 2.5

22 – 23 seconds = star rating 2

24 – 25 seconds = star rating 1.5

26 – 27 seconds = star rating 1

Over 28 seconds = star rating 0.5

Vandal Resistance

Some hand dryers would not be suitable for some locations where abuse may be likely such as a train station or night club. However the same hand dryer would be suitable for an office or school location. These ratings are based on an added together scoring system where the higher the rating, the more suitable we would recommend for areas where abuse may be likely.
